Exhaust Gas
Exhaust emissions are very dangerous,
and may be lethal. They contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas
which can cause fainting and poisoning
if inhaled.
To avoid inhaling carbon monoxide,
take the following measures:
Do not keep the engine running in
closed spaces.
If, for some reason (e.g. transporting
bulky loads), it is necessary to drive
with the trunk open, close all the
windows and run the climate control fan
at maximum speed. DO NOT activate
air recirculation mode.
Should it be necessary to stay in the
stationary vehicle with engine running,
adjust the ventilation/heating system
and operate the fan in such a way that
outside air will enter the passenger
compartment. Activate the maximum
fan speed.
Maintenance of the exhaust system
provides the best protection against
leaks of carbon monoxide into the
passenger compartment.
Should an unusual noise from the
exhaust system or the presence of
exhaust gas in the passenger
compartment be identified, or if the
underbody or rear section of the vehicle
is damaged, have the entire exhaust
system and bodywork areas checked
to identify any components which are broken, damaged, worn or have moved
from their correct fitting position. If any
of these things occur, contact your
authorized dealer.
Open welding or loose connections
may permit exhaust gas to enter the
passenger compartment.
Check the exhaust system each time
the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil
change operations. Replace the
components if necessary, contact your
authorized dealer.
Performance
This vehicle is equipped with an engine
capable of delivering exceptionally fast
acceleration and speed:
Peak power: 505 HP at 6500 rpm.
Peak torque: 443 ft-lbs at
2500–5000 rpm.
Top speed: 190 mph (307 km/h).
Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph
(0 to 100 km/h): 3.9 seconds.
For safe driving, it is essential,
particularly during the first days of use,
to get to know the car by driving
carefully and gradually discovering its
performance.
Brakes
The car braking system may be
available with four carbon-ceramic
material brake discs, one on each
wheel.
In order to guarantee the maximum
braking capacity for the first use, Alfa Romeo performs a "run-in" procedure
for discs and pads directly at the
factory.
The use of carbon-ceramic material
brake discs guarantees braking features
(better deceleration/pedal load ratio,
braking distances, fading resistance)
proportional to the dynamic features of
the car in addition to considerably
decreasing the unsprung component
weight.
The materials used and the structural
features of the system could generate
unusual noises which have absolutely
no adverse effect on correct operation
and reliability of the braking system.
Greater pressure may need to be
applied to the brake pedal the first time
to keep the same braking capacities in
presence of condensation or salt on the
braking surfaces, for example after
washing or if the car is not used for a
long time.
Note:
Given the high technological
level of this system, any servicing on it
must be performed by your authorized
dealer which exclusively has the skills
needed for the repair operations.
In case of intensive, high-performance
use of the car, have the efficiency of the
carbon-ceramic material braking
system inspected as shown on the
Maintenance Plan at your authorized
dealer.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Engine Coolant Fluid
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap
of reservoir and add the fluid described
in the "Technical Specifications"
chapter.
Washer Fluid For
Windshield/Headlights
The windshield and headlights washer
fluid reservoir (if equipped) has a
telescopic filler.
If the level is too low, remove reservoir
cap and lift the filler. Then, add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
Note:
The headlight washing system will not
work if the liquid level is low (situation
indicated by the symbol on the
instrument panel display). The
windshield washer will keep working.
On vehicles equipped with headlight
washers, if equipped, there is a
reference notch on the dipstick: ONLY
the windshield/rear window washer
operates with the level below this
reference.
Brake Fluid
Check that the fluid is at the maximum
level. If the fluid level in the tank is low,
contact your authorized dealer to have
the system checked.
Automatic Transmission
Activation System Oil
The transmission control oil level should
only be checked at your authorized
dealer.
Useful Advice For
Extending The Life Of
Your Battery
To avoid draining your battery and
make it last longer, observe the
following instructions:
When you park the car, ensure that
the doors and trunk are closed properly
to prevent any lights from remaining on
inside the passenger's compartment.
Do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running.
Before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable.
If you wish to install electrical
accessories after purchasing the car
that require permanent electrical supply
(e.g. alarm, etc.), or accessories which
influence the electrical supply
requirements, contact your authorized
dealer, whose qualified staff will
evaluate the overall electrical
consumption.
Caution!
If the charge level remains under 50% for a
long time, the battery may be damaged by
sulphation, reducing its capacity and
efficiency at start the vehicle. The battery
is also more prone to the risk of freezing
at temperatures as high as 14°F (-10°C).
Note:
After the battery is disconnected, the
steering must be initialized. The
warning light on the instrument
panel switches on to indicate this. To
carry out this procedure, simply turn the
steering wheel all the way from one end
to the other, and then turn it back to the
central position.
